I have the standard version and it takes me about a half an hour to set up and break down including a short carry to the beach. The best bet for really rapid sailing is to keep it rigged mast up and just bend on the sail. That is what I do up at my in law's lake house. In Florida I have to go from broken down on the trailer to assembled each time since there isn't a place to keep it mast up for the brief times we are visiting my in-laws house over Christmas break or Spring break. It really is a piece of cake to assemble even solo although carrying the hulls is challenging due to their size. I would use a canoe or kayak cart. Or even better get the available trailer or an even better one from Trailex.
